Hey,

I have branch of abiword using gnome-print in my tree right now. What would
be best suited to using/wrapping with c++ initially would be the
GnomePrintContext struct, found in gnome-print.h

You have to watch out for a couple of things initially:
1) Gnome Print in CVS is undergoing a *major* overhaul and rewrite
2) These guys are notorious for not extern "C"'ing their H files. I've
submitted patches, but these won't be included until #1 is done

It would also be useful to wrap the GnomeFont struct. This may or may not be
moved into its own cvs branch. You'd have to ask them. I think there's a
list: gnome-print-devel@helixcode.com. You can poke around there and
subscribe if you aren't already.
